The text that bridges the gap between basic neuroscience and clinical practice – updated with the latest advances and full-color illustrations
For more than twenty years, Clinical Neurology has helped students, residents, and clinicians understand the link between basic neuroscience and current approaches in diagnosis and treatment. Distinguished by its practice-oriented approach to neurology based on presenting symptoms, this trusted classic delivers the clearest and most concise introduction to the field available anywhere.
Features:
- Essential concepts are presented within a framework of problems encountered in a clinical setting for greater relevance to real-world practice
- More than 200 tables and figures put key information at your fingertips
- Treatment protocols reflect the most recent advances in the field
- Advances in molecular biology and genetics are incorporated throughout
- NEW Introductory chapters on the neurologic history and examination and laboratory investigations
- NEW State-of-the-art discussions of the molecular basis of Alzheimer disease and other dementias, spinocerebellar ataxias, motor neuron disease, muscular dystrophies, Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and stroke; and coverage of recent advances in the treatment of neurologic complications of general medical disorders, headache and facial pain, movement disorders, seizures, and cerebrovascular disease, and other conditions
- NEW Full-color illustrations that clarify neuroanatomic principles, clinical-anatomic correlations, pathophysiologic mechanisms, and clinical and radiological signs

I purchased this book to have a good "go-to" review book for neurology that I could feasibly stash in my bag and look things up or scribble notes in during my clerkship. This book is not for students who are just "trying to get by" in the neurology clerkship--it's really dense and meant for people with an interest in neurology beyond just acing the neuro questions on the Step 2.
That said, I loved this book. One great thing is that it mentions almost every neurologic disease my preceptors have ever brought up, even the really rare ones. For example, "stiff person syndrome" which is so rare that it was recently outlined in Case Studies of the NEJM is something I wouldn't have expected to see in this text, but a fairly detailed description was given and I was impressed.
Another great thing is the repetitiveness...there are some things that are very high yield, so the authors mention the same topic in several chapters throughout the book (eg Vitamin B12 deficiency causing subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord)--this is mentioned in the motor chapter as well as the sensory chapter. There is extensive cross-referencing in the book which is great because many neurologic diseases don't nicely fit into one category.
And finally, I liked that references were organized by topic at the end of every chapter, so if there's something I wanted to read further, I could easily find the original article referenced in the text.
I kind of wish there was a little more on imaging, especially PET scans which were fairly common in my neurology rotation. There is a chapter on "Laboratory Investigations" that has a decent overview of the mechanism behind and indications for imaging tests, but not a lot of info on how to read it.
